Klein Tools VDV826-729 Pass-Thru Modular Data Plugs, RJ45-CAT6, 10-Pack, Gold Plated, Power Over Ethernet-FCC-UL-RoHS Compliant, for Solid or Stranded Cable

Perfect "gigabit" crimp first time. Thank you. I purchased a cheap crimper set that came with a 50 or so (obvious low quality) connectors such as these. I tried over and over to get a "gigabit" crimp (all 8 wires perfect) but couldn't do it. I think I had about 8 goes. Very annoying. But as I said these Klein plugs / connectors were spot on. Perfect first time.

I picked these connectors because they had the best reviews I could find on Amazon and Kllein tools are usually very good This was the first time I had used my Knipex crimper and the first time I had fitted any ethernet cable connectors and they all went on and crimped well and when tested with my new Network cable tester all 8 lights came on first time every time on all 10 connectors. I think it is important to use good quality tools when trimming the 8 wires so as not to throw up any burrs on the end of the wires that could stop then going through the tiny holes in the plug. I also thing that having a good quality crimper not a cheap and nasty one is also a must when fitting these connectors. I do not understand the bad reviews for these plugs as I was using Cat 6 Solid Core 23AWG cable and they worked fantastically well. I was pleased with the plugs and myself for connecting my three security cameras and making up 3 fly leads and as already stated all connections worked first time.

I have tried other cheaper brands but I always seem to get one fail sometimes 50% or one out of ten terminations, But with these Klien RJ45s my failure rate is under 1 in 30 or 40 + terminations the passthrough feature is also great. In all honesty I wouldn’t bother use any other RJ45 connectors these days as its just not worth the hassle of it failing or being a pain to get terminated, I would recommend getting a decent RJ45 crimp tool like the Klien VDV226 to go with them also.

OK, so I originally bought a tub of 100 connectors of a different brand. I made about 30 cables, just testing them on a basic cable tester, before then finally actually trying them for real. Doh. Not one of them ran above 100Mb. Hmm, now was it the cable, that I just bought another reel of, or the connectors? I didn't have anything I could punch the cable in to so I bought some different connectors. I saw someone else had had the same issues with the other connectors as I had and he recommended these, so I pulled the trigger on a small pack of 10 to test. Well, I made one cable - full 1Gb - and made a second, exactly the same. So, cable's good! And, so are these connectors! To be honest, I'm surprised that these are fine but the others were so crap. It's just a bit of plastic and some conductor?! But hey, there you go. 100% success so far with these. I am using them with CAT6 23AWG solid copper cable. They're definitely more fiddly than the budget ones but not annoyingly so. That and the price has forced me to knock off a star as at these prices, I'm not sure if it's worth making my own now.

I bought these because I’ve had trouble with with non-pass through RJ45 connectors before. Once the individual cables are straightened and put in the right order, I found it very easy to push them ask the way through and to pull up the outer sleeving of the Cat6 cable. It’s so helpful to be able to double check that the cables have pushed through in the intended order as it’s so easy for them not to! Then using my knipex pass-thru crimper, the RJ45 is very well crimped and all the excess wire protruding out of the connector neatly and cleanly trimmed off. Sure, these are a lot more expensive than others, but for the few cables I needed to terminate, I was happy to pay for ones I knew are designed to work with my crimper. Made a fiddly job that bit easier.

I have found these to be excellent - very easy to use, compatible with 24AWG solid copper UTP. Compared to the 5e plugs from Klein, the primary difference appears to be the space at the back of the plug for the cable to fit into - allowing for the larger cable diameters caused by the F/UTP and other variations. Crimping with the Klein tools pass-through crimper is very straightforward. I have had no failed crimps. The pass-through aspect takes the stress out of getting the pairs in order as you can clearly see what you have done before you crimp.

Used as part of wiring up my internet. I used with Klein crimper and every connection has worked first time. Worthy time saving

Great job

Work well. I had one that wires would not go through. I tossed it out and grabbed another from the box.

It is more expensive that other brands, especially if you need to buy a lot. I only need a few and so I decided to try the Klein Tools. Installing is straightforward. People who had trouble threading correctly through the 8 holes should insert the wires one by one. You waste an extra inch of the cable but makes the job fast and easy. I have used 3 plugs. No failure record. Klein Tools is expensive but I got what I paid. No frustration from faulty installation.

I recently used the Klein Tools Pass-Thru Data Plugs (Cat6) for a home network installation, and they exceeded my expectations. As someone who frequently works on network setups, I’ve found that these pass-through plugs are a game-changer. The design allows the wires to pass all the way through the connector, making it easy to verify correct wiring before crimping. This feature alone saves a ton of time and frustration compared to traditional plugs. The build quality of these connectors is excellent. They’re durable, secure, and designed to handle high-speed Cat6 data transfers without any performance issues. The connection quality is outstanding—no drops or interference, and the data transfer speeds have been top-tier since using these plugs. Additionally, the compatibility with Klein’s pass-through crimper ensures a clean, professional cut every time. No more guessing or trimming extra wires after crimping! If you’re looking for dependable, high-quality data plugs that streamline the entire installation process, these Klein Tools Pass-Thru Data Plugs are a must-have. They make setting up Ethernet cables easy and efficient, and the end result is flawless. Highly recommend for both professionals and DIYers!

Relable connectors,I chose this because the brand has quality connectors,and the company is a well known one for quality products,i have found it can handle from cat5e to cat6 cables(I made a few cat5e cables,two of which are in use in a practice network at home currently),one long one is used for uplink,they are both handling the gigabit ethernet traffic passthrough so far,the trunk/uplink is connected to a router in extender mode that can only do 100 mb/s though on it's integrated switch(the router is a tp-link archer C54),the output from the switch is full gigabit ethernet output,the short one is used for computer ethernet output,both cables are connected to the built in gigabit ports on the switch,both cables are working really stable for internet supply(the cisco SF300-24PP reported 8ns on two pairs,and 0ns on two pairs from it's copper test,and all 4 pairs reported ok in the copper test,i could not test the trunk/uplink for the switch though,both cables tested good in a cable tester though, the trunk/uplink is coming from a router extending a existing network in range extender mode),the trunk/uplink is showing relable so far even though I could not copper test it via the managed switch)

Works well and does exactly what it says it does. I have nothing to compare it to but it works.
